Hi..
As you said you are having acne vulgaris. There may be different forms of acne..like white comedones,black comedones,inflammatory acne, conglobet and cystic acne . Acne vulgaris is a multifactorial disease. There may be some cause. Stress,anxiety,oily food,dandruff, sleeplessness, hormonal imbalance,drugs like pills,steroid ..etc may cause or exacerbate the disease.You have consulted dermatologist. You are applying clindamycine gel in morn and benzoyl oeroxide gel at night..you may continue...and add following treatment.
- tab azithromycine 500 mg thrice a week 24 hourly consecutively for few months or till good result.
- vitamin C 500 mg at night daily
- zinc sulfate 220 mg at night
-cleanse the face with antiseptic face wash
Have patience as the good result may be there after few months. And relapse may be prevented.I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
